Stand-in king

The riverside is cooler at night and has always been a holy place for summer night runners.

It was the same today, Xu Qing changed into sportswear after work, and joined the night running army.

But maybe she sprained her ankle at work today, and she felt uncomfortable in her ankle while running, so she wanted to stop and move around, and lean on the railing to blow some air.

The wind blows the surface of the river, the water sparkles, everything is so pleasant.

Until she vaguely saw something on the river——

"Oh my god, that... seems to be, is it a person?!" Xu Qing's eyes widened, and she quickly took out her mobile phone to call the police.

……

When Mo Xu opened his eyes again, what he saw was a pale ceiling.

Ah... there seems to be something covering the tip of the nose... an oxygen mask?

Unable to move his body, he moved his eyes left and right, and saw the infusion bottle dripping down.

A hospital... It seems that I didn't die.

He couldn't help thinking that he must have owed Meng Xun a lot of money in his previous life.

There are many, many, so many that they have cheated him in this life, and they are so ruthless that they will kill him.

It's been almost five years since I came to S City, and it's the first time I know that the water in that river is so cold... and there is a strange smell of rotting aquatic plants.

I have seen all kinds of bad things because of Meng Xun.

I don't know who was so kind and sent him to the hospital.

"The patient in bed No. 1 is today... Hey, are you awake?"

A male doctor in a white coat walked in from the outside. Seeing his eyes open, he smiled and said, "The young man is in good health and recovering quickly. Are you conscious now? Blink if you are sober."

Mo Xu blinked.

"Do you know your name?"

He blinked again.

"Yeah." The doctor nodded in satisfaction, bowed his head and began to write something on his hospital record, and said, "A girl who was running at night by the river found you and called the police. You have a sore throat now." Doesn't it hurt? If it doesn't hurt, blink."

Mo Xu blinked.

"I'll give you an examination in a while, and then the oxygen mask can be removed. The police may come to make a simple record in the afternoon. Don't worry, considering the patient's condition, the record should not last too long," the doctor said. "You young people really know how to play. You must play yourself in the river."

He doesn't want to play either...

Mo Xu thought resentfully, she really did something wrong in her previous life.

But that's good, life is back, and there are enough reasons not to see Meng Xun in the future.

The relationship with him is the best so far.

Thinking about it, Mo Xu fell asleep again.

The respiratory tract that was once in the water was damaged, and the whole person was easily tired, but later the doctor came to check him up and said that passers-by found it in time and rescued him early, so there is nothing serious, just need to rest for a few days .

His mobile phone was flooded and couldn't be turned on. Fortunately, the SIM card was fine. In order to contact his relatives and friends, the hospital inserted the SIM card into another mobile phone for him, saying that someone had called and would come to see him.

Mo Xu didn't take this to heart, there were only a few people who would call him, anyway, it wouldn't be family members, it didn't matter who came.

His concern is the transcript.

After the oxygen mask was removed, he tried to speak, but he couldn't make a sound for a while. The doctor said this was normal and he might be fine in a few days.

But if you can only make breath sounds, I'm afraid that you don't need him to write answers to the questions... It's really tiring.

In the afternoon, people from the district police station came.Being pushed into the water this time made Mo Xu lose even the last bit of emotion. When making the record, he did not cover up Meng Xun, but told the police the whole process.

Since he was a victim, the police left early on the grounds that "it would not hinder his rest" after finishing the record.

He doesn't want to think about the later things anymore, and now he only cares about how to do the game in these few days.

He was lucky, he got his life back, and he didn't hurt the brain of his hands, which he depended on for survival. He can continue to play games after he recovers. I just hope that thegenies don't pack their bags and go home during this period.

……

Meng Xun was lying in another ward. He had a dream about what happened when he was a child.

The conditions in his family are not very good, but when he was very young, before he dropped out of school, he was a very good kid.

At a sensitive and suspicious age, outstanding and introverted children always have their own pride, or self-admiration.

This narcissistic self-admiration soon felt the pressure from reality when facing the entrance to school.

Some people blame the sky, but he is special.

He began to hate his parents for being incompetent and unable to provide him with the best school and the best education.

Hate them for making him such a proud son of heaven can only live in a poor place and go to a bad school.

He understood everything the teacher said, so the class became boring. Comparing grades with a group of classmates who seemed to him to be mentally handicapped, he felt no sense of accomplishment.

Meng Xun started to play truant, and gradually, gradually, he became a person who did not learn anything.

When he returned to class again, he could no longer understand what the teacher said, nor could he understand what was written on the blackboard.

He left again, roaming the streets and indulging in Internet cafes.

Until he met Mo Xu.

Back then, Mo Xu was taciturn, sitting on a machine in the corner of Starscream Internet Bar, playing games with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The way he blew smoke rings and the way he acted during the PK all attracted Meng Xun.For the first time in his life, Meng Xun felt tempted.

Afterwards, everything was so logical, they were together, lived together, went to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, and played games... Don't think about what will happen tomorrow, just hope that today will be happy.

That year, a game called God's Lair was born, and Mo Xu was immediately attracted by it, and started the journey with Meng Xun.

This game is very interesting, and Mo Xu said that it has a bright future. If you play it well, you can earn your living expenses.

Within a few months, a boss surnamed Zhao found Mo Xu and said that he wanted to form a team and invited Mo Xu to come out of the mountain.

During the meeting, Meng Xun followed Mo Xu, and when he heard Mr. Zhao's "development direction of the professional circle in the future", Meng Xun suddenly realized that his opportunity had come.

His face is very good-looking, and he has never been short of girls who pursued him since he was a child. After getting to know Mo Xu, he suddenly understood that this face is also lethal to men.

At first, Mo Xu didn't immediately agree to Mr. Zhao, but said that he needed to think about it;

After returning, Meng Xun persuaded him to agree.

He even thought about Mo Xu's reluctance to show his face. Meng Xun said, "Well, it's an online game anyway. You play the game, and I'll attend the event for you."

The offline competition was a later thing. At the beginning, Mo Xu also thought it was good, so the matter was settled like this.

However, the professional circle developed to the end, and offline competitions gradually became the mainstream. Mo Xu, who was hiding behind the screen, could not disguise himself to participate in offline competitions, so Meng Xun had to hone his skills.

But in terms of game talent, a hundred Meng Xun is not as good as one Mo Xu. The two of them lay on the bed thinking about it, and they said that Mo Xu would continue to play online games, and find an excuse to fool him in offline games.

And later... and later...

Meng Xun thought that it was probably because he longed too much for those untouchable worlds of beauty when he was a child, which caused him to crawl on the bed of Zhang Fan, Tianwu's second boss, for fame and fortune.

Zhang Fan is a standard dude, and to Meng Xun, he was just coveting his face.

The more he stayed by Zhang Fan's side, the more cautious Meng Xun lived, and he lost the simple happiness he had when he was hanging out with Mo Xu in the Internet cafe.

He suddenly missed that period of life.

But... only then did he realize that Mo Xu, who would never leave him without saying anything, had already walked away unknowingly.

but……

Or maybe he was the one who walked away?

Wasn't he enticed by Zhang Fan's promise of celebrity packaging and promotion of resources to...?

……

In the ward, the unconscious Meng Xun shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

"The patient has mood swings..." The doctor who watched him recorded the changes in his condition, and said to the policeman standing beside him, "but it seems that there is no sign of waking up for the time being."

"It's a crime." The policeman who had just finished taking notes for Mo Xu shook his head, "I pushed him into the water, but I hit my head, which is worse than the one next door."

"Love killing?" The old doctor asked calmly because he was well-informed.

"Ah? Can't it?" The little policeman is relatively young and still doesn't quite trust the doctor's judgment. "The one next door didn't say it was a relationship dispute... he said it was an interest."

"Look at it." The old doctor said "tsk tsk", "it's more or less emotional. If you don't believe me, wait for him to wake up and ask carefully. I won't wait with you. I still have several wards to check."

"Okay, thank you doctor, let's go slowly." The little policeman sent the old doctor in, looking at the record in doubt.

"Hiss...can't be..."

Mo Xu slept for a long time this time, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no sound or light around him.

night?

He was a little dazed, feeling that time passed so quickly.

While my mind was spinning, I suddenly heard a slight breathing sound.

Ok?

Mo Xu's eyelids moved with difficulty.

Ah Rui...

There is a row of sofas next to his hospital bed, and Sun Tianrui is leaning on the armrest and falling asleep.

I don't know if it's telepathy or what, just as Mo Xu shifted his eyes to Sun Tianrui, the sleeping Sun Tianrui suddenly moved and opened his eyes.

"Brother Xu..." He yelled in a daze, and suddenly his eyes widened, "You're awake!"

Mo Xu nodded.

He tried "ah", only a little strange sound came out.

It was a little better than in the afternoon, but it seemed that he still couldn't speak, so Mo Xu could only look at Sun Tianrui with questioning eyes, and said with his mouth: "Why are you here?"

"Come here to see you...you're so frightening!" Sun Tianrui said, "Sudden disappearance doesn't count, but the person who wanted to find you saw the local news...God, who would have guessed that the person who fell into the water on the news was actually you?" ?!"
